وَلع القَلب في الهَوى بِالغلو

وَتَحاشى عَن الوَرى وَالسلو

The heart is passionately in love, exceeding all bounds

And has turned away from people and their concerns

وَغَدا في مَهامه غاد

رائح في الغَرام بَعد الهدو

Becoming immersed in its desires like a devoted lover

Wandering in love after feeling tranquility

وَكَفاه فَضيلة أن تَولى

سَيداً حَل في مَحل العلو

It is honor enough that he attained

The rank of master, assuming the highest position

وَلَهُ في حَضائر القُدس بَيت

غَيره لَم يجز إِلَيهِ وَيؤو

He has in the precincts of holiness a house

None can attain but him, none can enter but he

وَهوَ العيد الرَفيع المَعالي

سره في سَتائر الغَيب مَطوي

He is the lofty and sublime feast

Whose mystery is veiled in the curtains of the unseen

وَحيه محدث النُزول قَديم

لَم يَشب حكمه بِنسخ وَمحو

His revelation, though sent down anew

Is eternal, its rule unchanged, unabrogated

وَتَراه إِذا قَرَأت هداه

صادق القَول بِالَّذي عَنهُ تروي

You see it, when you recite his guidance

To be true in word to what it relates of him

وَعَلَيهِ مِن الجَلال وَقار

هُوَ يزري بِحاسد وَعَدو

And he has such majesty and dignity

That he disdains the envier and enemy

وَلَقَد أسبغ الإِله عَلَيهِ

نعماً تَنزَوي إِلَيهِ وَتَهوي

God has indeed bestowed on him abundantly

Gifts that come flocking down to him

وَعَلَيهِ الصَلاة في كُل وَقت

وَسَلام سَما يغذي وَيروي

Prayers be upon him at every time

And peace, wholesome, enriching and satisfying.
